Sources in the NIA, which had subsequently taken over the investigations into the case, said that they have arrested three accused, identified as Parvaiz Ahmad Wani, Javaid Ahmed Dar and Subzar Ahmad from Jammu.

"Investigations have revealed that the weapons were looted under a conspiracy hatched by the SPO with the terror group Hizbul Mujahideen and the three accused persons arrested on Tuesday had provided logistic support to carry out the conspiracy.

"The accused will be produced before the special NIA court in Jammu on Wednesday," a source said.

The SPO and his accomplice, Yawar Ahmad Dar, are still absconding, sources said.
